Duolingo has announced some surprising news: Duo the Owl has “died.” On social media, the language-learning app shared a funny message about their beloved owl mascot. They joked that Duo’s cause of death is unknown, and the “investigation” is underway.
In their quirky post, Duolingo said, “We’re sad to tell you that Duo, also known as The Duolingo Owl, is dead.” They humorously suggested that maybe Duo “died waiting” for users to finish their language lessons. They even joked that Duo had “many enemies,” and asked users to keep their negative comments to themselves.
Duolingo further extended the humor, saying, “If you feel like sharing why you didn’t like him, please include your credit card number so we can sign you up for Duolingo Max in his honor!” They finished by playfully requesting respect for “Dua Lipa’s privacy during this time.”
In another post, they shared a tribute photo honoring the owl, calling it “Duo Keyshauna Renee Lingo” and listing a fake lifespan from “1000 BC to 2025 AD.” Duolingo suggested that instead of sending flowers, people could do a Duolingo lesson in memory of the owl. They concluded by humorously mentioning, “We’re currently investigating Jimmy” in the same thread.
